Locking your entire shop, except for a few pages

Or: How to add exceptions to broadly-scoped locks

Written by Isaac Bowen Updated over a week ago

Normally, a lock requires a key in order to be opened. This is good! But, sometimes you'll need to lock down your entire shop while opening up access to just a particular page (or product, or collection, etc) - and there's no key for that.

However, there is a key called "Permit always".

This means that, if you've already got a shop-wide lock in place, you can add an additional lock for a specific page (or other content), then add that "Permit always" key to that more specific lock. This key will force open its own lock and any other locks that might be in play - including the shop-wide lock, in this example.
